Chapter 223: The Great Name (2)

Beijing, Chunshan Academy.

The Master left a topic for the current essay and told the students to leave school.

Rao is a human being in two lives, and thinking that tomorrow is the Wangshuo holiday, Shen Rui felt a little happy in his heart.

It's not that he wants to be lazy, it's that the class schedule of Chunshan Academy is too intensive, starting at six o'clock in the morning and ending at six o'clock in the afternoon, six hours a day in the school.

It's really early and late, no wonder Shen Quan and He Taizhi rarely see people in the opening of the school.

You can only rest on the fifteenth day of the new month every month, so naturally everyone is looking forward to it.

Regardless of whether Shen Rui studied in the Songjiang clan before, or in the small private school of the third master of the Shen family, the course schedule was not so tight, and he was really a little maladaptable for a while.

When he left the class, he saw Shen Quan standing outside.

"Third brother is waiting for me?" Shen Rui stepped forward.

Shen Quan looked at Mao Chi beside Shen Rui, and a bunch of young men who came out later, helped Shen Rui's shoulders and whispered, "Isn't it fortunate that Brother Mao Xian is here?" ”

Shen Rui glanced left and right, already calm. Before, his classmates looked at him sideways, but after knowing that he was only thirteen years old, the estrangement was not so deep. After all, they are eleven or two years old, and they are not much younger than Shen Rui. And because of Shen Rui's tall stature, they were very envious.

However, Shen Rui, who has been in the academy for half a month, is familiar with the upgrade mechanism and learning atmosphere here, and is a little worried: "I'm okay, where is the third brother?" ”

The teenage students in this academy were taken by the master to take the children's exams, and most of them passed the college exams at 16 or 7 o'clock. Shen Quan's age is already eighteen years old, even if he is in class C, he is not too young.

Shen Quan smiled: "It's just that I was treated as an unenlightened fool at the beginning, and I took extra care of it for a while, but it was good for me in the end; Even when he was studying the clan, he didn't get so much attention from the teacher. ”

Shen Rui saw that his eyes were clear and there was no haze on his face, so it could be seen that he had really adapted to the teaching rhythm of Chunshan Academy, so he was relieved.

Mao Chiben and Shen Rui traveled together, and when they saw Shen Quan coming to look for Shen Rui, they took the scholar away first.

Shen Quandao: "Since Brother Rui went to school, my mother has been chattering, don't worry about you...... Tomorrow is off, what are the arrangements for Brother Rui? If you have time, go and sit down. ”

Shen Rui nodded and said, "Of course I'm free, I was going to go over to ask my aunt for peace." ”

Shen Quan said with a smile: "Then tomorrow I may borrow Brother Rui's light to eat good food, a few days ago, someone from Songjiang came over and sent a lot of ingredients." My mother kept most of it, so she thought about calling Brother Rui over. ”

As for sending it to Shangshu Mansion, Guo Shi has always acted like this, and he will not do that. Although Shen Rui is close to her, she also really feels sorry for Shen Rui, but this closeness is not revealed in front of people.

In the past, Shen Rui was a poor child who was not in pain when her mother was not in her father's absence, and her aunt was willing to pull Shen Rui down under the wings of the fifth room and protect him and hurt him. Now that Shen Rui is already the heir of the second room, if she puts on the posture that only her aunt loves you the most, it will only make it difficult for Shen Rui.

It was the Zhuangtian account book that helped Shen Rui cook before, and after Guo entered Beijing, he was also happily handed over to Xu.

Shen Rui smiled: "That relationship is good, but I am worried about the food in the south." ”

The two brothers laughed and walked out of the academy, and when they arrived at Renshoufang, the two said goodbye, Shen Rui entered the alley, and Shen Quan continued on the way home. However, before parting, the two made an appointment that Shen Rui would visit Guo and Sister Fu tomorrow.

Back at Shangshu House, Shen Rui first went back to Jiuruju to change his homely clothes, and did not directly order dinner, but went to the main room first.

The eldest man was also there, and he didn't know what he was talking about before the eldest wife, and the husband and wife were a little heavy.

Shen Rui first greeted the two of them, and then said that he wanted to go to Shen Ying's house tomorrow to visit the elders of the fifth room.

Xu calculated the days in his heart, nodded and said, "The second brother has not passed some days, so he should go over and ask for peace." He also said: "Your Uncle Hong and Aunt Hong are the first year to spend the winter in the capital, I'm afraid that I can't stand the cold here, Sister Fu is young and young, just these days the family is cleaning up the skin, I asked someone to pick a few pieces out, and the second brother will bring them over tomorrow." ”

Shen Rui responded, and listened to the eldest master: "Send someone to Brother Ying's place and change the time of the visit to the afternoon...... Wang Bo'an has returned to Beijing, and his health is not very good, so you should go there first to ask about the disease. ”

It's not that Wang Shouren, the teacher, should be in the front, but that he visits the sick and avoids the afternoon, mostly at noon

Wang Shouren is now the head of the Criminal Department, and in February he left Beijing to go to Anhui to check the old prison, and he has been out of Beijing for more than half a year.

Shen Rui couldn't help but be moved: "What is the teacher's illness?" ”

Wang Shouren is not a simple literati, he is a small martial arts practitioner, if he is sick, it will definitely not be a minor illness.

The eldest lord was silent for a while and said: "It is estimated that he is tired, and he has achieved remarkable results in the past half a year due to heart disease, but he has also offended many people......"

Shen Rui listened, thought about it carefully, and understood.

This kind of errand of clearing the old prison really needs to get good grades, doesn't it offend people? If a convicted case is reversed, not only will the magistrate who tried the case be offended, but also the officials of the Prosecutorial Department and even the Criminal Department.

Before Wang Shouren left Beijing, Shen Rui thought of this. But Wang Shouren is dedicated to the country and the people, and Shen Rui, as a disciple, although he is tactful and persuasive, he can't stop it, and he can't stop it.

"But offended a great character?" Shen Rui hesitated for a moment and asked.

The eldest master himself is now the seal officer of the Criminal Department, and the Criminal Department should not be afraid here. As for the magistrate, although Wang Shouren's father Wang Hua has not been promoted, he is still a third-grade squire, can't he protect his son?

The eldest lord glanced at Shen Rui and was very pleased with his transparency: "It's not that he offended one person or two, but that he committed a taboo in officialdom...... Although Wang Hua has not risen or fallen this time, his position may not be stable, and there are still many people staring at his position...... Wang Bo'an went south this time, although he had merit, but the impeachment that followed was also indispensable, for fear that someone would fall into the well at this time...... If Wang Hua is involved, I am afraid that both father and son will be difficult to preserve......

Shen Rui was shocked: "Father, isn't he a saint?" ”

The eldest master said: "Cheng Minzheng, who was involved in the fraud case of the meeting test last year, is not under Wang Hua. ”

Shen Rui has been in Beijing for more than half a year, and he often listens to the eldest master talk about some things in the court, and he has a good idea of the current court structure.

Today's pattern is that the imperial power and the civil servants coexist peacefully, and the noble military generals play soy sauce.

Wenchen here, because of the old Sange, there are factions again. "Xie Dang", "Liu Dang", "Li Dang", as well as neutral people such as Da Ye and Wang Hua.

In this "Jingcha", the signs of the old rivalry between the three pavilions are getting older and more obvious.

Wang Hua has no party or faction, and there is hope to enter the cabinet, even if the elders of the three pavilions will not deal with Wang Hua directly, if the people below are staring at Wang Hua's position as the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites and want to get him down, they will not stop him.

Thinking of this, Shen Rui couldn't help frowning and said, "Father, are they too arrogant?" This time to deal with Shigong, which one to aim at next time? My father and uncle are not party members, so will they also take action against my father and uncle?

The eldest man stroked his beard and said with relief: "It's very good that the second brother can think of this, very good...... The sorrow for the Father's heart is also here...... The court is the court of the saints, not the court of the elders...... Several pavilion elders have been in high positions for a long time, and they are becoming more and more unable to hear other voices, and sometimes they will inevitably fall into a battle of will. The best way to do it is to maintain the current pattern of the imperial court, and not to let the power of a few cabinet elders expand again. ”

"If they want to use the teacher's investigation of the old prison this time to 'fight cattle across the mountains,' then in order to avoid future troubles, should they be 'drawn from the bottom of the kettle?'" Shen Rui thought for a while.

The smile on the eldest man's face was even bigger: "Second brother said to listen to ......"

"Sir is sick, so you should rest for a while......," Shen Rui said.

Although Wang Hua's father and son have no backers in the court, because Wang Hua was born as a champion and is a square person, he has a good reputation in Shilin. And because he was in the Hanlin Academy before, and now in the Ministry of Rites, Wang Hua's protégés also have a lot of old ones. However, most of them are of low grade and cannot speak in the court.

The eldest lord nodded and said: "If this is the case, it can also solve Wang Hua's troubles, but Wang Shouren has a reckless temperament, and he may not be willing to take this step." ”

Shen Rui didn't promise anything in front of the eldest master, but he made up his mind in his heart to persuade Wang Shouren.

Coming out of the main courtyard, Shen Rui did not go back to Jiuruju, but went to call Changfu and instructed him to go to Shen Ying's house immediately.

On the other side of the Wang Mansion, it was so close to the Shangshu Mansion, Shen Rui couldn't wait to go over immediately. But think about the rules and avoidance, in the end, I endured it, just to pass the long life and ask a thing or two.

When Shen Rui returned to Jiuruju, he had dinner, and Changshou also came back from the palace.

"I didn't see the uncle, I only saw Brother Wuxuan. Uncle has worked hard day and night for half a year, and because he is out and his diet is not adjusted, his stomach is a little bad, and I heard that he has lost a lot; And because of the errand, he offended many local officials and suffered a lot of troubles, and the most excessive thing was that when the uncle returned to Beijing, the people over there made a bad mistake on the boat and sank the boat that the uncle was on...... Uncle and Brother Wuxuan know the nature of water, although there is nothing to do, but the two clerks who went south with the uncle were killed...... "Speaking of the most lu, longevity is a little heavy.

He is an old servant of the Wang family, and he also followed Wang Shouren in his early years, so he is naturally concerned about the old master.

Shen Rui listened, and finally understood why the eldest master let Wang Shouren retire temporarily.

The battle above the officialdom, although it is dangerous, can be done within the permission of the law, and if it is so clear that even the murder of his life comes out, it can be seen that there is an unresolved grudge in it, so that the other party does not even talk about the rules. And if the other party dares to be so wanton, he must also rely on it.

Wang Shouren's father and son are now in officialdom, but in fact, apart from the holy family, there is no use of officialdom help.

Originally, he planned to take Dong Xi to Shen Ying's house to discuss Dong Xi's marriage with the Guo family, after all, Dong Xi is nineteen years old this year, and he is not young.

Knowing about Wang Shouren, Shen Rui was also in no mood.

Tossing and turning, and the next morning, Shen Rui had breakfast and hurried to the royal mansion to serve the sick.

He is Wang Hua's apprentice grandson, Wang Shouren's student, and often comes to Wang's house before and after the Spring Festival, but no one stops him

When he arrived outside Wang Shouren's residence, Shen Rui heard a burst of coughing......
